Vastex International has announced an all-new Dri-Cab Forced Air Screen Drying Cabinet that dries coated screens five times faster than passively-ventilated drying cabinets. The compact unit can hold up to ten 23 inches x 31 inch (60 x 80 centimeters) screens, and features a positive-pressure ventilation system with air filter to prevent dust contamination — a common cause of pinholes in air-dried screens. The pressurized cabin dries most coated screens in less than one hour. To ensure total darkness, the unit is constructed with large overlapping seams, and is equipped with a latching, rubber-sealed door and light-tight bottom exhaust port. Screens sit horizontally on removable shelves that are angled to prevent screen mesh fabric from touching the shelf surface. With its forced air design, simple On/Off switch, and easy-access filter housing, the VDC-2331 Dri-Cab is economical to operate and easy to clean and maintain.
